An honor, and the greatest experience of my life so far.
Hello to my friends at MLP, I just thought I'd share my story of what happened the last few days.
I'm sure most of you saw the Super Bowl, Well, Here's some photos and video of my experience at XLV. Minutes before the show- Artist Proof AFD Les Pauls - $16,000.00 each  To Benjamin Rock Fn' Roll X Slash 2011  Three AFD Heads, Clean, Dirty, Spare.  Slash and his tech weren't here for the rehearsals, So they told me to stand in. I had the honor of sharing the stage with a very talented and kind woman.   As I was helping Jim (Slash's tech) right before the show, Jim handed me the guitar Slash was going to play. I then feel a hand on my shoulder and hear "Hey Benjamin" in a calm but familiar voice.  Last but not least, Mrs. Fergie herself took the time out of her day to pose for a picture and have a little chat.  Here's a video of the second rehearsal, I'll upload the NFL's copy soon. Thank you for reading/watching

I simply flew out to see dad, And was presented the honor and great responsibility of doing this. During the show, I actually helped the tech setup/take down etc. I had to make sure Slash's cable had enough slack going down the lift, and that it was tight coming up so it didn't get pinched in the lift. If the cable got pinched, The guitar might not have made it to the amps, and the NFL would not have been happy. |

Her voice sounds dreadful.
Anyway, you're the man dude! What an experience! You pulled it off very well too! How did you manage to get yourself into that situation? [Scrap that question] ^^^^^^ |

Re: An honor, and the greatest experience of my life so far.
Haha, Fergie.
Well she's really popular, really hot, Went farther with me on that stage than either of my ex girlfriends went with me  She's pretty nice, Like I said, I was honored to have shared the stage in a duet with her and she respected me enough to pose for a picture and have a short chat. There isn't really much else, But I may be her new biggest fan lol I like her voice on this song actually, Seeing that no one can be like Axl. Fergie > Myles At least just for Sweet Child. |

Wow dude, that is AWESOME!! I'm proud of you. I was actually watching your video while you hit me up on facebook. By the time I noticed, it said you were off line.... Did Fergie ask about me?
